Subject: IBM keyboard articles

   I have received the following request from an acquaintance in New Zealand. 
Is there anyone out there who can help?  If you have the magazine article(s)
and could photocopy them, we'd appreciate it if you would send the copies
either directly to Ewen or to me for forwarding.  Ewen does not read this
newsgroup (as far as I know), but you can send him Internet mail directly. 
Thanks.

>>  
>>   Micro Cornucopia #52, March-April 1990
>>   Circuit Cellar Feb/Mar 1990
